Hello. The following set of five patches aims to fix the errors that currently occur during compilation of openjdk8u with gcc6.
I suppose some of the patches are trivial and can be applied easily while others (in particular 4/5) would probably require more revision. After applying the patchset, I can now build OpenJDK8 Update and it seems to be working fine. The following build options have been used: --enable-unlimited-crypto --with-extra-cflags="-O3 -march=nehalem -mtune=nehalem -Wno-error -fpermissive -fno-delete-null-pointer-checks -fno-lifetime-dse" --with-extra-cxxflags="-O3 -march=nehalem -mtune=nehalem -Wno-error -fpermissive -fno-delete-null-pointer-checks -fno-lifetime-dse" --with-boot-jdk=/usr/lib64/jdk1.7.0_04 Thanks very much to Seán Coffey for pointing me to the right mailing list and to David Holmes for the initial review of patch 4/5. Regards, Guido
